amazon has the mr814 for $45-$20 Mail-in-rebate = $25 with free shipping.... comes with 5.01 firmware most likely

I thought merc summed it up well in the beginning, from my experience with pinnacle several years back they have bugs... i figured this was the same now. winDVD's DVD creater was crappy for me... it was stable enough, but it choked on some videos and created a coaster my 1st time out...

just get one of these

For the occasional air boost in my tires I just goto a local gas station. Most of them have air compressors for about $0.50 a use (should be able to inflate 4 tires with that).. quick trip lets you use their air compressor for free.

i saw that the other day and thought the same thing.

i was annoyed earlier this month when I installed core2 test 1 and the update servers went down so that I could not update using yum. I didnt realize until I switched back to core1 that it was infact the update servers and not a problem with core2... a couple days later the servers were back up...

i've setup 2 netgear 802.11b routers (both model MR814v2) both have worked flawlessly. The one thing I do notice is that signal strength never seems to go above ~85%. I am using really cheap NICs, one is a gigafast 802.11b PCMCIA and the other is a trendware PCI 802.11b based on the realtek...

i know that for halflife the server does not require a CD-Key. In bf1942 on linux I dont think you need a key, but in windows I think you did... either way I dont think you are required to have a unique key(license) to run a dedicated server.

I take IIS to mean microsoft's IIS. Not Apache or any other "internet service".

grr.. how true.. that goes for all versions of windows telnet

1) i doubt winME needs a firewall. 2) use an automated program for getting rid of spyware/adware. i recomend ad-aware. You can get it from the front page of download.com (at the bottom) Keep it updated with the webupdate link (in the upper right of the program) and have it scan the system once...

i dont know what you're talking about, there is no 10 connection limit on XP itself. The 10 conenction limit is with IIS and SMB. Do a netstat -an and you'll likely see hundreds (or thousands) of connections on a box that does file sharing... a box that is just surfing can very easily surpass a...

As far as I'm concerned winNT is a server operating system. Even if it's been dumbed down and castrated it's still a good base. Additionally, that 10 connection limit only applies to IIS and other microsoft server daemons. Which means Apache, various FTP programs, and even game servers should...

term power should be enabled at both ends of the SCSI bus. This means on the controller and at the last drive for most setups.

that sounds odd being that they are both the same drive. make sure your SCSI bus is set up as follows Controller -> Drive -> Drive -> terminator Make sure that Term. Power is enabled on both your controller and the drive next to the terminator. Make sure the terminator is LVD U160 rated as...

At work we have atleast 6 machines that run win2k on 440BX and i810 chipsets. There are a couple more that run winXP on the same chipsets. And probably a couple still running winNT 4.0 on the same. No problems.

yeah, I was just about to say that the retail DM+9's come with a 1 year warranty... rebates from maxtor seem to take about a month or two (which seems standard for just about everywhere else too)

none of the boards I've used mention it by that name, but you're right.. the term floppy emulation makes sense. Come to think of it, I've never seen an option to have an ATAPI device emulate a floppy in any BIOS that I've used.

no reason you couldn't use a pentium M and have a board the same size. laptops are bound to have smaller boards than these with just as much integration.

Probably because of inefficiencies and delays. Maxing out 100baseT is real easy with netperf. You can easily see that with decent gear you can achieve 98-100Mbps... The thing is when you have multiple bottlenecks as well as other interactions you run into delays that affect another area. So...

i found out that 2 simultaneous SMB transfers kick butt on this setup... maxing out the capability of 100baseT atleast. Overall I found that the tweakers involved with SAMBA and linux know what they're doing.. I couldn't improve over what is setup stock. btw, is anyone still interested...

Tables are there for a reason. I agree that they can be very intuitive and comfortable if you're used to using them. As long as you write your tables correctly and the result renders well on your target browsers then I see no problem.

i like tables. They are the perfect tool for alot of jobs.

With the drives on the promise controller behaving properly I have much better reads and deletes.. writes are not much affected. For those interested: Write: 32.63 MB/sec Read: 119.18 MB/sec Delete: 5,484.46 MB/sec

ah, I figured out the problem with the promise controller, there was an option in the BIOS labelled "PCI1 Master 0 WS Write" and "PCI2 Master 0 WS Write". Both options were disabled. I enabled them and now performance is as expected.

looks like a 16KB block size works the best for me (although there want much difference)... I also forgot to mention these are binary MB, using decimal mega bytes would give me a better score. Write: 34.09MB/sec Read: 96.77MB/sec Network Writes: 7.29MB/sec Network Reads: 9.25MB/sec I...

i've never had any problem putting them on the same IDE cable as something else... or atleast the two that I've used (circa late 90's). But you're right that some BIOSes dont see them as a floppy (i guess you'd say the BIOS doesn't have LS-120 support)

128KB block size w/ reiserfs Write: 32MB/sec Read: 81MB/sec Delete: 607MB/sec same pattern over the network though

i bought a fasttrak 66 back in 2000, great card for the money. I bought it for about the price that promise now sells its Ultra line of cards..... But that was before RAID 0 became popular with the kiddies.

I've had no problems with the DM+9 and promise Ultra 100's in windows... If you're using another OS I'd be interested in your results.

i forgot to make it clear that the exact same network transfer behavior was noted in 2.6 and I thought the slow performance of the drives on the promise controller might be to blame. Infact, 2.6 was fater by a small percent compared to 2.4 ... this may be due to a newer SAMBA version though. -I...

I've put together a half terabyte (480GB) soft RAID 5 array using linux 2.4. Disks used are 4x 160GB DM+9's with 8MB cache each. hda = OS on fujitsu desktop 10 hdb = DM+9 #1 hdc = DM+9 #2 hdd = LG 8160B CD RW hde = DM+9 #3 hdg = DM+9 #4 hda-hdd are on the onboard VIA 8233 SB, hde-hdh are on...

I got a credit card offer in the mail with terrible interest and a really small limit. Once I was aproved for the card I got plenty of offers for better cards. (My address was aparently given out to everyone because the offers came in like a flood) This was after applying for a target and a...

that's interesting, i was about to point out that apache natively has the ability to foward to another server... for both temp and permanent situations. It would fit perfectly for your web needs. Since you need more than web I would assume that IPtables/IPchains could do this very easily and...

I see no reason why you could pop a pentium-M in here isntead of a VIA chip. With a higher IPC and higher clock rate the pentium-M would make a great CPU choice for more demanding computing.

in the US you seem to get punished for having good credit.

i've used 2 different LS120 drives and have not noticed them being any faster than a regular floppy with regular floppie disks. Infact, they have both been reletively loud and obnoxious compared to most of the floppy drives I've used. In my last two computers i've used some of the quieter...

pamper yourself, let your wife treat you two to a massage, manicure, etc. If you've never got a professional massage I can highly recomend it.

hmm.. bouncing a check to your own bank.... maybe I'll mention it to her so she can check up on that.

it was a checking account, so i dont think it goes on a credit record or anything.

heheh... That sounds like a pretty good deal. but I'm sure it's at the expense of the peopel that verizon rips off. My gf recently went pretty low in her checking account... then she was charged a fee by the bank (for something she never signed up for) and it pushed her into the red...

for FTP to your box or another box? typicallcy for anonymous FTP (a public FTP) you would use an email address.. doesnt have to be real... anon@anon.com is my favorite. if it's a private FTP you need to specify a valid user and password... typically the root user is not allowed to connect to...

hehehe... what step are you having trouble with? from a quick look at the beginning it looks like you want to get the binaries over the source if possible. The binaries are comparable with a zipped .exe file... simply unzip and copy to the correct location. this allows you to skip step 2...

i remember they used to have a fonts package that you could download to improve mozilla's font rendering... this was probably an RPM as I remember it being easy to install. There are also a lot of font adjustments in moz, including minimum font size and what font size and font face you want to...

that's what I thought

lol, 1k on the button. Congrats

not just any A<->A cable?

yes, i can see you're drunk on kitty litt... er kitty liquor.

but the reserved sectors for this purpose are in the order of a few MB... I would maybe suspect as much as possibly a hundred MB at most on the newer high density drives (although I think it's more like 10MB). In any event, this amount of space is inconsequential. Mrec, if you think about it...

lol
